Abstract
To predictively determine the occurrence of rear wheel lifting before actual lifting of a rear wheel occurs and enable control of brake force. Vehicle body deceleration is computed on the basis of wheel velocities obtained by wheel velocity sensorsand(S), and when it is determined that that computed value exceeds a predetermined value K(S), then the pressure of a front wheel cylinderis reduced by a predetermined pressure and held at that reduced pressure (S), and when it is determined that vehicle body deceleration has fallen below a value that is, for example, lower by a predetermined value α than the predetermined value K(S), then the state of holding of the pressure of the front wheel cylinderis released (S) and brake control returns to normal brake control.
